Whether it’s The Matrix trilogy or his early work in Point Break, Keanu Reeves has worked in his share of action driven pieces. The overwhelming success of John Wick has led to John Wick: Chapter 2, a project which reunites him with The Matrix co-star Laurence Fishburne.

Starring in a hit franchise that’s also universally loved is something the actor doesn’t take for granted. “I really enjoy playing John Wick and making the film,” says Reeves, who starred last year with Elle Fanning in The Neon Demon. “I love the training. I love the process. It’s a very satisfying role for me. It’s a pleasure to play, so I feel very lucky to go to work every day.”
